Dear Barry and Jim, I am going to miss your mother so much. She was always so sweet and such a joy at the office. My whole staff loved to see her come in. Sometimes she would tell stories about how she would take care of me when I was a baby .They loved that. She was always so kind. We are all going to miss her so much. I know y'all will too. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers this Christmas season. Rick
